The Status of Women Leaders in Utah Business: A 2024 Update
Researchers pulled information from 2,032 companies which comprised the initial population for the study. Of the 70 companies with CEOs, only 9.6% were women.
The mission of the Utah Women & Leadership Project (UWLP) is to strengthen the impact of Utah girls and women. We serve Utah and its residents by 1) producing relevant, trustworthy, and applicable research; 2) creating and gathering valuable resources; and 3) convening trainings and events that inform, inspire, and ignite growth and change for all Utahns. The UWLP was founded in 2009 by Dr. Susan R. Madsen, who leads this work as part of her faculty position at Utah State University.
